| Facility Description: |
The High Acres Landfill & Recycling Center, located in Fairport, Monroe County, NY provides integrated solid waste management services. High Acres Landfill is a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill operated and maintained under 6NYCRR Part 360. The primary activity at High Acres is the disposal of MSW and other non-hazardous wastes. The deposited waste undergoes aerobic and anaerobic decomposition to produce landfill gas (LFG). LFG consists mainly of methane, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of organic compounds (NMOC) and sulfur. Decomposition gases generated in the landfill are collected and piped to the control equipment at the facility. The gases are collected and combusted in the four (4) CAT3516 internal combustion engines, one 136.3 MMBtu/hr enclosed flare, four (4) CAT3520 internal combustion engines, and one 181.7 MMBtu/hr enclosed flare and one proposed enclosed flare. The internal combustion engines are used to generate electricity.
A proposed landfill expansion of 44,486,100 tons of waste is proposed. A BACT/LAER analysis was completed. BACT/LAER for NOx was determined to be gas collection and control through enclosed flares. BACT for CO was determined to be gas collection and control through enclosed flares. |
